The Bird and the Beaver

7/9/2013

The coolest bird in the North East is undoubtedly the eagle, and I have strong feelings about it after my recent encounter. A proud second is the Great Blue Heron. This morning I saw one, and managed to take a few pictures.

Wait, that’s not it. Here it is.

And while I was taking a picture of this regal bird, the beaver, Moshe, swam across in front of me at a good clip.

Holy cow! I had an opportunity to catch both the Great Blue and Moshe in the same shot. But Moshe was moving fast, no time to focus, no time to aim. *Click*. I hoped I got it.

Well, I guess it’s important to focus and aim. But even if I don’t have that perfect picture, I saw an amazing sight.

The world is so big and so beautiful. In September I will set out to fill my bag with many more treasures and while I may come home without any money, I’ll be rich with spirit.
